Good! then, I will bring him to court and face the Genocide that is still taking places in Somalia and the students he massacare in Addis. There is a warrant on RAS meles who will end up in NY prison camp..

Ethiopians in the US especially in NY city should organize a protest against this vampire bloodsucking despot. Throw rotten eggs at his stone head. Shout him down. Expose the his henieous crimes to Americans and the cosmopolitan society in America. Dictator Meles should not enjoy a luxurious trip and conference in NY when millions are perishing from man orchestrated famine by TPLF.

Where are Ginnot7, olf,onlf harina tigrai and all opposition leaders calling for demonistration againest this illigal goverment, Lets unite and expose this leba all of us together,Somalis Ethiopians Eritrians all unite and expose the crime mnister his hands are soacked with innocent citizens.

i will see him admired infronot of his frined os AFrican leaders and the world. The rular policy and agricatural developemnt will be one issue and many of the leaders will agree on Ethiopian policy and they will endorce to follow us.

AJ :>> Are you stupid? The Somalians, Ogadenians, Eritreans and Oromos do not protest along side with the Amhara or Tigray people, even if you hate Meles Zenawi. They do not like to see Ethiopian flags and Ethiopian people. You are moron if you think these people are against Meles Zenawi they hate the country Ethiopia not the government…dedeb

Why demonstration, remember this is a puppet government which has been cooked in USA for their own agenda towards the horn of Africa, if you need a change do it and work hard at your own home land if you have courage !!

Please let us show our heartily well come

fassum hula…

yesterday Protest… today protest….tomorrow protest well, when are we going to talk face to face and solve our indoor problems.
please, diaspora in US think about peaceful discussion.
I am tired of protest..protest…

No one should be in doubt that the end of MELES is approaching. It is the end of the Mooron’s Era, so to say. A leader who has liitle respect to his own people and country, will never be of any value to countries like the US. The proxy war in Somalia will end with the coming of the Democrats to power. Like wise, the end of the MUGABE era in Zimbabwe is a death knell to the power monger Meles and his one-party rule. Meles is living in a glass house where the accumulated pebbles will end there. I may also say that he is like a man with a 18th century brain, to be generous. But for those who think Meles as their Eneistein, they mush have shared a similar genetic kake-up.
